Hi there,
I've had daily, widespread muscle twitching for the past 5-6 years. I never thought anything about this and thus never even mentioned it to a doctor.
Both of my calf muscles have been twitching more or less constantly for the past year (in addition to random twitches elsewhere in my body throughout the day). I finally mentioned this to my primary care doc 7 months ago, who did a cursory strength test and diagnosed me with BFS. She had no concern whatsoever and did not discuss a referral to a neurologist.
I forgot about this issue for months, despite the ongoing and incessant twitching. Recently, however, I've become concerned and I'm wondering if I really should see a neurologist, or if I should rest assured by my doctor's diagnosis of BFS (I don't want to pester her for a referral if it's not indicated). I should mention that I have no weakness of any kind (I'm a competitive bodybuilder).
Thanks so much for your help.
